Shallow Analysis

by
gillyman13

If you're looking for a serious, analytical podcast, keep looking. I was really interested in their take on ESPN's dwindling ratings, and while they did spend time on cord-cutting, the cost of TV rights, and the shifting media landscape, one of the primary conclusions which received serious air time was that people are racist and transphobic against their programming personnel. An easy out and an easy way to throw a few jokes at Republicans in "Trump's America". Give me a break. Very hard to take them seriously following that shallow, unoriginal thought.

Best Sounding Podcast I've heard

by
Bombaclat3333

The audio quality on this podcast is amazing. Except cut the coughing out and the dead air out of the "new high-tech hotel" episode. I like the brief stories to get a story about someone I wouldn't have known about.

Boring and/or uninformed

by
nofziger6

Overall, the interviews are boring and uninteresting. But the Suze Orman interview was flat out uninformed. I had enough and unsubscribed mid interview after she said to cash out the Roth IRA to pay off your mortgage at retirement, then went on to say that reason interest is front loaded on a mortgage is that banks expect you to sell your house within 7 years. SMH.
